Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower with decline in the lighter weights following last weeks strong advance. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Several consignments of good quality fall calves again this week. Feeder futures were sharply lower Tuesday with the announcement that USDA was doing bird flu testing on some ground beef.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
